KP is working Utah
- Puts out rumors on the Boozer trade. Knowing sad sack Bulls will get media attention.
- Forces Utah to match and go over the tax or trade Boozer…. and quick…. probably not getting value in return.

I actually don't think this kills the 3-way trade
Which does Portland want more: paying 9 million to a backup PF (milsap), or 10 million to a starting PG (kirk). Unless Pritchy is planning on letting Alridge to go, all this does is force Utah and the Bulls’ hand to get a kirk deal done.

I'd love to have Milsap at that price. It's quite a steal.
To put it differently, I think they’d be perfectly happy to play an Oden/Milsap/LMA rotation for the next 4 years. You can play those guys together in any combination and be effective.

This is a chess match at its finest.
I imagine Portland may see this as a way to get something out of Utah one way or the other…. (1) either the “rumored” 3-team trade goes down on terms favorable to Portland, or (2) Portland take the guy that may Boozer expendable in the first place.

Bayless and Rose together is a bad matchup.
I really, REALLY want to see Bayless in like Sacremento or something. Somewhere where he can be the lead PG [hell, his passing instincts are more advanced than Tyreke Evans, I’ sure Evans can play SF :P]. I made a crappy team of rookies in 2k9, and Bayless is my starting PG [Bayless/Mayo/CDR/LMA/Gasol]. And he’s awesome! Gets … lots of points.
I do have LMA though. He’s so worthless. Need to trade him for someone.

It's so depressing.
I was like ‘Yay, I have LMA … he might be decent … I don’t like him in real life, but eh.’ … then … he hit a couple jumpers but just can’t defend anybody down low. Which is really what I needed.
I traded him for Noah and change and Noah’s really awesome in the game. He just kind of sneaks around behind people and then dunks. Like a basketball spy!

noah is a rebounding beast, and he finishes strong whenever he catches the ball on the inside…love noah in 2k…Hinrichs shot damn near impossible to shoot with, and fernandez has such a smooth shot (found out its Atkins signature shot) Tyrus also dunks everytime he is around the rim, but i often trade him for an allstar powerforward…..i changed the game sliders so now i can play 10 min games without getting outrageous numbers,
On Behalf of Sue, Wjb, majoyenrac, Bullshooter and all the other Hinrich fans...Ill keep the Hinrich Hope coming...There will be light!

No kidding. That's what gets me.
Sam Smith is becoming increasingly dated and crotchety. Every “blog” or story he posts now mentions something about the demise of “The Newspaper!” And his arrogance, just like you said about doing “actual reporting” and checking on your sources was just ridiculous. Especially with respected journalists (three no less) backing this story. And there keeps being more and more evidence that it’s continuing and evolving, yet they continue to deny it. It’s like George W. saying “we won!” And KC is the worst. He is just lapping up anything that Sam throws him. If Sam says it’s made up than it has to be. Everyone else is wrong.

And this...
Johnson has been playing primarily power forward.
“He has a good feel and can handle it and make plays off the dribble,” coach Vinny Del Negro said. "He penetrated a little in the lane and kicked the ball out for some easy jumpers. That versatility makes him harder to guard.
“But then his size dictates him playing power forward. He comes to the weak side pretty well and blocks shots. He has length. We’re feeling it out.”
Christ, I thought this guy was a SF?!?!?! You know Vinny can’t wait for the matchup problems JJ will create!!!! I think I just vomited.

VDN is pushing the power forward who can play the perimeter a ton.
If they play Johnson at the PF, than Tyrus is good as gone. This means they would have drafted 2 power forwards, one with Tyrus’ offensive skills, the other with his defensive skills.
Crap. Just trade Tyrus now so I don’t have to hear people argue about it for the next 4 months.

hmmm....
I realize that Detroit wanted Ben, and he was a UFA, but am I the only one that thinks it would have been better for everybody if we signed and traded Ben for Boozer? Then sent Kirk to Portland for Blake & Bayless, or even Blake and Outlaw.
Then Detroit wouldn’t have a backcourt clusterfuck, Utah would be stacked, and we would have pretty unbulleivable depth, while maintaining decent 2010 cap room, and also be stocked with a good mix of young and veteran talent ready to be signed and traded for a Bosh or a Wade…

I completely buy the theory that the Jazz and Blazers are doing something
But I don’t see much evidence the Bulls are involved.
Hence, I figure Boozer ends up in OKC where they can take him under the cap and give back very little for a one year rental.
Or maybe Dallas, who now has Greg Buckner’s mostly NG deal and mostly spare parts that can save the Jazz $5M or so in the right trade. Cuban probably wouldn’t pass up a no brainer like that. Of course, I wouldn’t think even the Bulls would pass up getting in the 2010 race and getting a 27 year old 3 time all-star for their sixth man.

Summer league is still meaningful just like college ball is meaningful.
But you actually have to look at players’ skills and whether those skills fit a role in the NBA. Scoring 20 points per game in college can be just as meaningless as scoring 20 points per game in summer league. But, at least summer league is played at an NBA pace with NBA rules. The things that Derrick could do on the NBA level were there in summer league along with all the things he really struggled with on the NBA level.

Then you're not doing a good job of scouting.
Rose showed enough in summer league. Belinelli is exactly the type of player people get fooled by in summer league and college. He had 1 or 2 games where he was hot with his inconsistent jumper, but most smart observers weren’t fooled by a couple of games where his jumper fell. The people who think summer league is meaningless are usually the same people who get fooled every year by summer league scoring outbursts.

First of all, who ever said I'm a smart observer?
Most of the time I’m a drunk observer. Rose sucked in summer league. He was dribbling balls off his foot, standing around at the three point line, basically doing nothing and that’s when he was actually playing rather than being out with knee tendinitis. So I’d love to know exactly what you saw that me and my retarded basketball mind missed. Also, I was never “fooled” by Belinelli. I was just kinda trying to make a joke. He was just the first guy I could think of. There are several others that played well, who weren’t just hitting jump shots.

He's one of the worst defenders in the league
So, it kind of dampens what he can do on offense, but he is a really talented scorer.

...and his scoring certainly wins games.
He commands double teams and is virtually unguardable. He has the capability of altering an opposing team’s defensive gameplan as only a handful of other perimeter players in the league can do. It’s too bad he’s Rose-like on defense, you’re right, but people are insane if they still think they’d draft Oden. Even the Blazers homers.

I don't think it's some sort of permanent thing
or something that’s been going on for a while. It’s just that every once in a while a certain franchise will have an uptick where they will be very successful, and as a result their fanbase becomes extremely arrogant and unlikeable (in other words, douchebags).
They begin to do things like: deify their general manager (who also happens to think his shit doesn’t stink, further complicating matters) constantly comparing 7th and 8th men on their bench to current members of the hall of fame, going to other team’s web sites to gloat about their team, etc. It just so happens that, that current team, city, fanbase belongs to the Portland Trailblazers.
Of course there are exceptions to the rule. For instance, you seem like a good enough guy. And there are plenty others which have come around that I really enjoy discussing basketball with. But, for the time being, they/you are unfortunately far from the majority. And until that changes, I will be of the opinion that Portland Trailblazers fans are douchebags.

Serious question
If it is a jealousy thing (which I can’t blame you for thinking that btw) then why is Portland the team that’s being singled out? Why would people on here not be talking shit about a team like the Cavs or Lakers? Teams that people would have WAY more of a reason to be jealous of. The Blazers have a nice little team, but it’s hardly a situation to drool over.

All of that contract to talent ratio talk is bullshit
Give me LeBron James, one other good to great player and a few mid-level exception guys and you can stack up as many middling Rudys, Batums or Bayless’s you want, but you guys are still going home crying every year.
If you have the best player on the floor, most of the time you win. Sooner or later most of these guys on your squad are gonna want at least one of these two things: more money or more playing time. And once they realize that the Blazers can’t give it to them, things will start to get ugly. Watch.

contract to talent ratio?
am I the owner of the Bulls? because otherwise I don’t give a shit how cheap their talent is if its not enough to win it all. the Lakers have some terrible contracts, I guess their fans must be really jealous of the Blazers too?
and don’t forget the Bulls were in almost this exact same situation. if there’s one rule in the NBA its that bargains don’t last long, and often you end up overpaying for those one time bargains (Hinrich, Nocioni, Deng)

I'm curious about that.
Do you really get jealous of other teams? It’s this strange preoccupation you guys have…we don’t care. Really. The entire rest of the league. Glad you guys have a nice team, but really, I think about my team. And when i do think about another team, its because the Bulls are playing them, or potentially trading with them. Or I think about basketball in slightly more abstract terms. But the times i’ve been on BE, it seems to come up, this notion that the rest of the NBA is crouching in Grendel-like fashion around the Rose garden, wishing they were within. It borders on a shared delusion. It’s truly strange.

From Broussard and Stein
The Blazers, meanwhile, are still hoping to land a top-quality player this summer without surrendering any coveted assets, as evidenced by their unwillingness to part with Bayless in trade talks with the Bulls and Jazz.
Wow, Pritchard is really annoying. Guess what, Pritchslappy? Even you might have to give up assets when you’re trying to make an upgrade on the team!!! (Even when that “asset” is only your 4th guard at best!)
